re: Today, would you be willing to enlist in the military to fight for this country?

Absolutely not! The wars from here on out will be either for profit or one we have zero business fighting in. Trump left us with a stable world.

I mean, I wasn't willing to enlist 15 years ago to go fight in some pointless war in the middle east. Why would I enlist today?

Don't feel sorry for BE. He will be back, at the right time and I look forward to his return.
Salute!!!

I'm a retired mustang (enlisted to officer) and would absolutely not do it again today. Nothing now like it was when I was in. It really is sad.

Never, why serve when Dominion will just pick our next war

No way I'd join this Zampolit military today.

No and I’m a veteran and have been to war. I would not fight for those people in Washington today. Wars today are not to defend anything.
I am sorry you risked your life for a bunch of self-serving greedy people who never will give a damn about you.
I am sorry for the men and women who gave their life to preserve a country that these people have whored out to China, Iran, etc...
I cannot imagine how the handful of living WWII vets feel about this banana republic now.
I have an uncle who flew fighters in Europe, was shot down twice behind German lines, got rescued by the French Underground both times, and lived to be 94. I can imagine he would be livid over what is going on now.
No, he would be having a damn come-apart!!!
And I sincerely thank you for your service to the country we used to know.

Why would you risk your life while silicone valley is sitting in a nice office, holding all the power?
Posted on 2/23/21 at 9:14 pm to oldskule
What's in it for me?
Posted on 2/23/21 at 9:15 pm to oldskule
No. Glad I retired.

I would not fight for those people in Washington today.

ABSOLUTELY...NO.
The moral compass of those in politics has ruined this great country.

I’m white and therefore inherently racist. Why would our armed forces welcome such a person?
Posted on 2/23/21 at 9:22 pm to oldskule
I don’t serve dictators...so - no.

No, and would strongly advise against for the youth of today.
11B/51B LANG '87-'93
Endless police actions and occupations based upon DC thinktank and national intelligence agencies 100 year oil stategeries, not built to win, nor allowed full throttle rules of engagement.
13 Phoenician families, MIC, Central Banks, Arab-Israeli/Saudi/Iran, DC Swamp, Sellout Presidents and Congressman and Military Brass,etc..
Not worth losing limb nor life over.
We're now way off course from honorable intentions and genuine actions. Lunacy and disingenuous overgrown children masquerading as our elected leaders.
A USSC, Congress, CIA, DOJ,etc.and half an American populace, that all want to cockblock cracking open voting machines to investigate for the truth, and want to go forth with a fraudulent Presidency..
F@ck no to serving that corrupt beast..go live your life!
P.S. Still greatly respect and appreciate those that do serve. But, to do so today, it must be greatly a personal commitment to do right by God & Family, as the Country part of that equation has now went full clown world.

Enlisted & did my time but I would never join with today's political climate. We had no race problems when I was in...you depended on your buddy no matter what color skin he or she had.
I would not want to serve under Biden as Commander-In-Chief.

Love my country, currently hate my government. Would I enlist today or encourage my family members to do it? Probably not ,because I have no faith in the CIC and the brass and many enlisted that stayed in when I got out are not what I would call great leaders. Have many friends that are pushing close to 20 and really can't wait to get out of the military ,because it is all about pushing papers and navigating around the ridiculous PC nonsense.

I served in the 90s under Bill Clinton as CiC. I’m a big Trump guy. My son graduates in May and ships out for the Air Force in June. He ALSO voted for Trump and we’ve raised him to put America First. It’s just a job. Like working for a CEO that you think is a dickhead or whose policies you don’t agree with. You do your particular job and keep your head down and get what you can out of it.

Hell no, those aren't Americans running this country anymore. Not going to defend the movement toward socialism/communism.
Posted on 2/24/21 at 6:15 am to oldskule
If I were a younger man again in today’s time the motivation would be solely for my family, my friends, my hometown and my fellow soldiers on the front line. Never for the purpose of believing in/fighting for the woke generals or the political class.
